Properties

Properties of the parameter atmosphere_​specific_​convective_​available_​potential_​energy
Name atmosphere_specific_convective_available_potential_energy
Description "specific" means per unit mass. Potential energy is the sum of the gravitational potential energy relative to the geoid and the centripetal potential energy. (The geopotential is the specific potential energy.) Convective(ly) available potential energy is often abbreviated as "CAPE".
AMIP code (Library of AMIP Data Transmission Standards) not specified
GRIB code not specified
